Ran the first session! Went great and we had a blast! But now i have more questions!! :)

1. NPCs - how "in character" are you when you run them? Do you do voices and have full conversations, or do you just let them interact through descriptions of "you do this? ok, I do this."?

2. NPCs and Camp Life - I have a player asking why he can't just intimidate the NPCs into helping around camp. I said I would look into it. My thought is to let him, but it would drop their attitude each time. Eventually one would run off, and he might stop... thoughts?

3. Another player is a druid with the scent ability. How should this interact with "suprise" encounters and whatnot down the road? Seems like it will spoil everything.. or am I missing something?

Thanks guys for all the help!

We're starting next week!

I think I'm square on most things, but had one major question on treasure.

How is this handled on an AP? I picked up the Serpent's Skull Item cards, to sprinkle themey stuff throughout that they might find. But how is treasure handled in general?

I don't really see Jungle Goats carrying gold or anything... :)

Hey everybody! Long story short, I'll be running SS and have some basic questions I need advice on. Sorry if some of these are really simple, but I don't have a lot of RPG experience - but I really love the idea of GMing one of these great stories!

Anyway, here's my questions!

Fellow Passenger NPCs:

- Do I share the attitude and moral levels to my players? As well as what to do about it?

- Do I explain the personal quests and boons?

- Do I explain the XP gained by helping them and keeping them alive to be rescued?

Camp Life / Survival:

- Do I explain the specific roles around camp, or must they ask?

- Do I explain the food/water necessary to survive, or must they guess?

- Must they return to the camp each night, or set up new ones, as they explore?

- After the first couple nights – do you continue with the minutia of survival, disease and camping or just play through it? Or, at what point do you move past this, if ever?

- At what rate does the group traverse through the jungle? ie, how do I keep track of time (simply) while exploring?
